Cherry Pickers (Haiku Style) Poem by Sandra Martyres

Sandra, a delicious poem here, made my mouth water over the thought of those cherries. Top marks and thanks for sharing this my friend. Hugs David

Same thing happens to my Lilac bush! Except it is often so loaded you don't really miss if they even took a whole buckets full of blooms. Thanks for the humorous picture you painted..(smile)

lovely short one in haiku style...so natural

good one Sandra...thanks

These three haiku flow really freely to create a short story which is very well told. I love 'deep red and luscious'. We are starting to have cherries displayed in fruit shops and it wouldn't be Christmas in Australia to me without cherries. 10 love Karin

Thanks Indira, I have implemented your suggestion...it does change the direction of the poem in a very positive way...

should have replaced 'thieves' with 'children' for a more lucid picture and the time sometime during a lazy afternoon...'thieves' the very word marred the beauty, i feel...

honest, Sandra this reminds me of my childhood days, when we raided the orchards in my home town. very vivid composition, brought alive with good imagery. Mamta

This is an excellent and very succinct write, Sandra, one that's very expressive and exceptionally well thought out. It was a pleasure to read this fine poem. Carl.

Succinct and excellent exposition of truth. Beauty and taste provoke thieves sooner than gold. CP
